The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 9 Call me a pariah?

He whispered: "It's just a heartless clay statue. Even if it has crossed the golden clothes, it has changed into a golden clothes. It is also a clay bodhisattva who has crossed the river. It is hard to protect itself. How can it manage the dirty and unfair things in this world."

"I beg you, not because I believe in you, but because of my previous life or this life, and I have paid back the accounts of those monks. Don't blame me, I have to do some things."

"My lord, it was a monk Hua who saw a beautiful woman, so he felt malicious. He dragged her into the meditation room and had sex with her. Princess Ling'an found out and caught her with the family members who came after hearing the news."

Although he was clear in his heart, Changsun Ji still pretended to be ignorant, and said in surprise: "Oh, how could such an unsightly thing happen in the pure land of Buddhism. Ma Xiao, don't talk nonsense, so as not to pollute the first holy place of Buddhism reputation."

"Young Master, if you don't believe me, you can go and have a look." Ma Xiao still said dryly.

Changsun Ji raised his foot and walked out of the hall.I have to say that it is human nature to watch the excitement, and it is still an incurable terminal illness.At this time, the outside of the Daxiangguo Temple has been surrounded by spectators into three floors inside and three floors outside.

Changsun Ji stood on the steps in front of the hall, looking down from a high position, he could clearly see the people surrounded in the middle.One of the monks was dressed in white, with a knife-sharpened face and sharp water chestnuts.And because of practicing martial arts all the year round, there is a masculinity in his body.It attracts the attention of the women around.

Changsun Ji naturally recognized that this monk was Xuan Hai.He also saw his fiancée, Princess Ling An.She has a graceful figure and a veil around her face, but her eyes are full of tears, making her look pitiful.

He didn't squeeze into the crowd to participate in this matter, but said softly: "Let's go, let's go back to the house." Then he pushed through the crowd, except Xiangguo Temple from the side.

Standing at the gate of Xiangguo Temple, Changsun Ji stopped, then looked into the temple, and looked at the crowd surrounding Monk Xuanhai, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his upper and lower lips opened and closed, and whispered in a voice only he could hear: "Xuanhai, This is just the beginning, I don't believe it, I can't beat you in this life."

Changsun Ji left Xiangguo Temple, walked across the street, and turned around.Suddenly, a gust of cool wind blows away the dryness and heat of the whole body.Changsun Ji looked over and saw a lake suddenly appearing in front of him.There are various trees growing on both sides of the lake, leaving a shade for the hawkers selling under the trees.

There are several painted boats floating in the lake, and you can hear the sound of playing the piano and the sound of women laughing from them after walking a few steps forward.There are several boats parked on the shore that carry people to play in the lake.

The lotus leaves in the lake are green and green, and the pavilions are planted cleanly. The lotus blooms quietly, and the pink and white ones are scattered among the lotus leaves, and the breeze blows.Like a fairy falling into a room, she is swaying.

On the embankment of the lake, boys and girls are braving the scorching sun, seeming to express their love.They caress the folding fan lightly, acting like gentlemen, or comment on the beautiful scenery in the lake, acting like pointing the country.It caused the girls with parasols to whisper and laugh.

He knew about this lake. It was rumored that this place was originally a flat land, and then one day a sword light fell from the sky, splitting this place into a deep ditch, which was later excavated and repaired by the previous dynasty to collect rainwater and form a lake.

Regarding the sword light from the sky, he did not believe such rumors.However, there are books that record this.So this lake is called Guanghu and Jianhu.And because it is biased towards the west in the capital, most people in the capital call it West Lake.

Seeing that it was still early in the sky, Changsun Ji took Ma Xiao to the lake to admire lotus flowers.

Walking around the lake, because there are trees for shade and a slightly humid breeze, it is not very hot.Speechless all the way, looking at the honest Ma Xiao behind him, Changsun Ji regretted not bringing Zi Zhu along.

Seeing the lotus blooming in the lake, Changsun Ji thought about going for a swim in the lake and picking some lotus seeds to eat.So, the two walked to the place where the boat was parked.

This kind of small boat entering the lake is very popular among boys and girls. When they first arrived, there were quite a few idle boats, but now there is only one left.

Compared with other small boats, this boat is somewhat unique. It can no longer be called a small boat, but a passenger ship.

The boatman was an old man with a stooped body, wearing a bamboo hat, and his hands were covered with calluses. One could not help but worry whether he could propel the boat.

Changsun Ji jumped into the boat from the bank and asked, "Old man, how much does it cost to go to the lake?"

The old man raised his head to look at Changsun Ji's whole outfit, and stretched out two palms tremblingly.

"Ten cents?"

Seeing the old man nodding his head, Changsun Ji knew he had guessed right.

He immediately understood why so many boats were rented out just now, but this one was left alone.It is not like other small boats that can only accommodate two or three people, except for the boatman who is punting, you can live a world of two.His boat can hold 30 people at a time.

Most of the people who rent boats are middle-class boys and girls, and they only spend three pennies to rent a boat.

Don't feel less, you must know that money at this time is very valuable.The daily living needs of this ordinary person are only about five renminbi.

At the beginning, when he first came here, Changsun Ji didn't know the purchasing power of money here.I remember watching ancient costume dramas in my previous life, and rewarding a servant was worth more than ten or twenty taels of silver. I thought that the silver should not be very valuable. Later, there was a big joke in Zizhu.

For this reason, he changed his past.In order to figure out the exchange ratio of money in this world, he also specifically used the world's tael of silver as a unit to compare the banknotes of his previous life.

About one tael of silver is equal to one-sixth of gold, which is equal to 600 copper plates, which is equal to more than 21 to [-] banknotes in the previous life.However, the current purchasing power of silver is very large, and the total annual living needs of a common people are only about one or two and a half.It is similar to the purchasing power of banknotes around the end of the [-]th century and around the [-]st century in the previous life.

Apart from shared renting, the only ones who could afford to rent this boat were the children of nobles.However, if the children of the nobles want to swim in the lake, they will go to the boat. There are food, drink and women in it, which is not comparable to this passenger boat.

However, Changsun Ji didn't care about the money, so he nodded.Taking the money bag from Ma Xiao, he took out ten Wen and put it in the old man's hand.

The old man borrowed money and counted it.Put it in the fish basket made on the side.He stood up and smiled at Changsun Ji, showing his big yellow teeth.

"Young master, please stand still, the boat will leave soon." The old man said in a hoarse voice.

"Wait a minute, boatman." At this moment, a voice came from the shore.

"Your boat, my young master has hired it. You can see how much the price is."

The old man looked distressed, "My guest officer, but I already have two people on board."

"Little old man, this boat is big enough to accommodate all the guest officials. Why don't you just make do with it and rent one together."

"Do you know who the young master of my family is, how can you share a boat with some untouchables. You..."

Before the man could finish speaking, he saw a black figure rushing out from behind the ship, roaring towards him.However, he is not an ordinary person, he stretched out his hand to block the two palms of the approaching person.

"Ma Xiao, come back."

Changsun Ji came slowly from behind and stopped Ma Xiao who was about to attack.The two unexpected moves did not hurt the person who came, and if the fight continued, it would be just a tie, and there would be no benefit.
